Gay Icons

[TeaForTwo]

Who is your gay icon? I would say Elton John and/or Rufus Wainwright are mine as they've never been afraid of who they are and set a brilliant example to young gay men that it's ok to be who you are.

What about you guys?

Btw, new member so hi y'all

[Sanssouci]

Oscar Wilde. Father o' camp. Victorian times, mind you.

Stephen Fry. Of course.

Marlene Dietrich (bisexual). Just because.

Sylvia Plath was an incredible author.
Still, it would be very strange to describe her as an "icon" at all.

[Sanssouci]

Melissa Etheridge *love her, she is my reason to speak out
Rosie O'Donnell (yeah, i like her, problem?)

Oscar Wilde
Ryan Carnes (both hot and not afraid to play gay)
Madonna and Christina Aguilera (more idols than icons, but whatever...semantics...)

[Miaplacidus]

I like Oscar Wilde too. I had a good laugh while reading The Importance Of Being Earnest... I also loved the not-so-funny The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

[SpikySpice]

I also remember Madonna is one of my favorite to, yeah,

[suburbs_of_sodom]

I like Oscar Wilde too. I had a good laugh while reading The Importance Of Being Earnest... I also loved the not-so-funny The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

I actually was in The Importance of Being Earnest (I played Lane, Algie's butler), but my friend was an amazing Lady Bracknell, people would scream everytime she came on stage. It was a good production all around...


I <3 British humor.

Also, KD Lang is pretty cool. And Judy Garland is also pretty rad.

I don't really have a gay icon but I guess it would be Alan Turing + every single homosexual that died for being gay.
They may not be icons, but I admire them.
